Electron heat flow with inverse bremsstrahlung and ion motion

Description
Laser-plasma interaction has been numerically simulated with a Fokker-Planck code, including inverse-bremsstrahlung absorption and ion motion. The results were compared with the hydrocode lIlac, with adjustable flux limiter f. The coronal temperature and density profile agree with f = 0.15, but heat penetration into the cold dense plasma is better fitted by f = 0.08. Thus, there is still a factor of 3 to 5 to be explained between classical kinetic theory and the usual ad hoc value f = 0.03
